Preparethe Image Drums
1. Lift out each of the image drums and place them on a
flat surface away from direct light: be careful not to
touch the shiny green drum surface!
2. Remove the eight internal pieces of shipping tape and
spacers.
3. For each drum, remove the paper shipping insert, then
carefully remove the foam shipping insert (there is
toner on the bottom of the insert—be careful not to
spill it) and put the drum back into the printer. Match
the color coded label on each drum with the color
coded label in the printer (e.g., magenta to magenta
or M to M).

InstalltheToner Cartridges
Be careful to install each color toner
cartridge in the corresponding color image
drum: each image drum, toner cartridge and
slot in the printer has a color-coded label
marked with the corresponding letter (Y =
yellow, M = magenta, C = cyan, K = black).
The end of each toner cartridge is keyed so that it will
only fit into the correct color image drum.
The toner cartridge should slide into the
drum easily: do not try to force a toner
cartridge into an image drum!
1. Remove the yellow toner cartridge from its packaging
and shake it back and forth a few times to distribute
the toner evenly, then peel the tape off the bottom of
the cartridge.
2. Insert the left end of
the cartridge in the
yellow image drum,
placing the recess in
the end of the
cartridge under the
color-coded tab on
the image drum.
3. Lower the right end
of the toner cartridge,
aligning the slot on
the cartridge with the
ridge in the image
drum and push the
blue lock lever
toward the back of
the printer until it
stops.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each of the three remaining
toner cartridges.

InstalltheOil Roller
1. Remove the shipping tape from the fuser lock levers:
make sure the levers are pulled forward (in the locked
position) before proceeding.
2. Remove the oil roller from its packaging. Holding it
by the fins with the caution label facing you, lower
the oil roller into the fuser unit, sliding the left end
under the retaining ledge.
3. Make sure the blue lever is toward the back of the
printer, then lower the right end of the oil roller into
the fuser unit and pull the lever forward to lock the oil
roller in place.
InstalltheTonerWaste Box
1. Pull the latch on the left side of the printer and open
the side panel, then remove the three strips of packing
tape and spacers.
